Will Saturday's temperatures change your tailgating plans?

[cmjh10]

Just buy cheaper beer, thats close enough to water anyway isnt it?

 

[Farnsworth]

It sounds like this beer is in order...

Australian boffins brew up a hydrating beer

By adding electrolytes, an ingredient commonly found in sports drinks, and reducing the alcohol content researchers found that beer could become even more refreshing.

Pass. reducing the alcohol defeats the purpose. Might as well go with drink 3 beers, drink one Gatorade.

 

[Rhoadhoused]

Not getting to the lots any time before 7:00 AM, that's for sure.

 

[mike4cy]

Drink of water between beers should do it. Maybe a little extra ice in my rum n coke.

Not bringing the 3 year old and the 8 month old, talked the parents into coming up to watch them. Now just have to find an extra ticket for the wife. Do you suppose they would believe she is in the Jr. Cyclone Club?

People are talking about 7am and 9am, and noon etc. But the lots don't open until 6 hours prior to kick right? Or can we get in early? I will go search, but does anyone know?

Grass lots are 6 hours prior. I believe the paved lots open at 7

Public​ lots open 6 hours prior. Donor lots open at 7. Just making the distinction because G6/G7 are donor grass lots.

Cue that one guy telling everyone they're not true fans if....

I'm glad I'm on your mind "shotgun shell boy"! Temperature should indeed have no effect on your tailgating plans! The game could be played on the planet Mercury and I would expect nothing less than massive amounts of alcohol being consumed. If not, I'm sure their is a high school or JuCo game people can drink water at. Kidneys be damned and GO CYCLONES!

We will park our van in line at the student lot and tailgate the line until they let everyone in.

So I'm a low-end NCC donor with a G7 parking pass, I can get in there at 7am? That may change things, may have to get there earlier!

Yes, that lot opens at 7am.

 

[thisISnextyear]

We are starting at 7am. Might as well set up during the cool time and then hit it hard, every yard for ISU

 

[Frak]

I hardly eat food at tailgates anyway. Drink my lunch I guess. But, I'll probably mix in a few waters and I'm guessing I steer clear of craft/micro beers and stick with BL.

 

[cycloner29]

We have 2 canopies this year one for the food the other for lounging. Just finished making some PVC weights for holding them down. Youth football pics at 8:30. 8 lb pork loin on the grill by 5 am, so we should be ready to hit the lots by 9.

So, I can assume you have two parking passes for those?

 

[cycloner29]

No paved passes, we tailgate just south of Hilton.

The parking police is relentless this year.

 

[dmclone]

Tailgating again in A4 and we'll be there around 11. Not looking forward to the heat.

 

[yler4cy]

Just setup box fans under your canopies and you will be fine. My plan is to be up to Ames Friday night at 5:30 to make sure no one tries to steal our normal spot. Everything should be setup, so when we get up Sat. morning we can plug the TV's in, turn on the fans and start to enjoy the first tailgate of the year. I am not scared of a little sun and heat that can be offset.
